Cost of Replacing Logic Board at Apple Store

At the current moment, my 13" macbook pro no longer recognizes the wifi hardware. Running OSX 10.10, I thought this was the root of the problem. Support helped and solved the issue but it quit the minute I hung up the phone. It is possible that I will need to replace the logic board in order to get everything working again (although I may just buy a wifi adapter) and was wondering what the cost of replacing a macbook pro 8.1 logic board is, just so I don't have a heart attack in the store. Thanks.

Logic boards typically run $500 and up...take the the MBP to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs run their diagnostics to determine the exact issue. They can then quote an accurate price if physical repair is needed.

My iphone 3gs' screen stopped responding to touch in a crucial places on my phone, about how much would it cost to replace it at the apple store?

My iPhone has fallen out of my pocket a million times and always been fine, no cracks just a few scraches on the back. This morning, it fell out and I assumed the usual had happened. However, I went to type on the open message and the screen wasn't responding on parts of the keyboard. So, I thought maybe it was just a small issue; I turned my phone off then back on. When it turned back on I couldn't even unlock it because the screen wasn't responding and the first number of my passcode was in an unresponsive spot. An elder friend of mine told me all I needed was to replace the screen and that he could do it, if I bought the screen. My question is, would it be cheaper to buy the screen and have my friend do it, or would Apple give me a better deal?
Note: I've had it for a year and four months. I do not know ANYTHING about the warrantty and such because my aunt takes care of it for me because I'm only seventeen.

Out of warranty replacement is $149

Anyone else waiting on a replacement Power Supply & Logic Board from Apple?

On Dec. 26, I took my iMac G5 to my local service provider to resolve some power issues under the Repair Extension Program. They ordered the part (new power supply and logic board) from Apple that very day, yet I'm still stuck here waiting 16 days later.
Anyone else out there waiting for this part to arrive? How long should it take? Can I call Apple directly in order to get a better estimate?
Thanks!
1.8 GHz iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

All right, so here's the latest plot changes in the ongoing saga of my iMac G5...
I spoke with two very kind and helpful women at Apple this afternoon. Both agreed that this sort of behavior from my AASP was certainly unacceptable. I was able to lodge a formal complaint against my AASP, as well.
My particular part order was given some sort of high priority status by Apple. I was asked to call back on Friday to receive an update on the order's status.
I was also asked to send a letter to Apple's Corporate Customer Care division explaining my situation in full. I'll try to send out this letter within the next few days.
So that's where we stand right now. No computer yet, but at least SOME progress is being made.

Replacement logic board for my 20" cinema display?

I'm looking for good place online to buy replacement logic board for my 20" cinema display. Any suggestions?

You could ask the Apple store to let you have (or buy) one of the boxes they use to send the displays in for repair. They should have these on hand.

Do replacement logic boards have serial numbers?

Hello everyone. My MacBook is in the shop for a logic board replacement. I've read elsewhere on this board that when you receive a replacement logic board that the serial number is no longer available from the System Profiler? Is this accurate?
The reason I'm concerned is that my MacBook does not have that information available on the battery bay where it's supposed to be. According to Apple, there is supposed to be a gray sticker underneath the battery on the computer that shows the Ethernet ID and the serial number in addition to directions on how to change memory. My computer has never had this gray sticker.
I'm concerned because, if the above is true, there will be no way to identify my computer or to associate my AppleCare agreement with this particular machine.
Thanks.

The boards themselves might, but when they're installed into your system it shows up blank in the about my mac preference pane. They can't write your SN into the board of a replacement. Checking under the battery you should be able to locate the SN. However you stated that this is missing.
I'd dig for your original receipt or box as the SN is one both of those items. Or you can try ringing apple or the store you bought it at and give your name, phone and email. They keep records of purchases at the stores on file, and also when registering. The mere fact that you've had it serviced means AppleCare should be able to provide that information to you by looking up your past case number. Make AppleCare add a note to your account that the sticker came up missing after the repair as to avoid issues with further service.

TS4088 I have changed the logic board in Apple genius bar

I have changed the logic board in Apple genius bar after updated to 10.6.8. Updated to 10.7.2 but now way BSOD never solved except after changing the logic board.
Can I update to 10.8.3 or as I read in the communities, the BSOD will return again? If it happens, I guess Apple will not change it to me again.

I am also on my forth hard drive on the same model.
When I unpacked the computer, the hard drive did not include OS X either. Actually, it was completely blank. Did not even have a partition table! I have also had random problems with the machine not charging.
I have replaced the drive myself with an SSD after figuring the Apple Certified technicians were incompetent. Now even the SSD is starting to fail
I have bought an HP laptop and setup Ubuntu on it. Hope it turns out better than my previous four various Mac models. All have had various repeating hardware issues that Apple Certified technicians have been unable or unwilling to correct.

Apple MacBook Pro 15" A1286, but i couldn´t find online to buy it where can i get one and if it´s possible if i can have it delivered to my hotel

There are a lot of MacBook Pros with the model # A1286 - which year is your model (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
The only place that I know that you might could score a specific logic board is www.ifixit.com. They may be able to ship to your hotel.

Why are G5 replacement logic boards in such short supply?

It is now almost 1 week after the service tech I brought my G5 to informed me that my computer needed a new logic board and that Apple had backordered them. He can't tell me if I will be waiting a few weeks, a few months or more.
Is there such a flaw in these logic boards that Apple can't keep them in stock because they are constantly going bad? That G5 is our only computer at home and we use it for both prdfessional and personal purposes.
If anyone has any info, I would like to know how severe a backorder exists on G5 logic boards, just so I have some idea of how long I'll have to wait.

Mark Hannon-
First let me say that you have every right to be upset with the facility that is doing service on your Mac. My experience with "Apple Certified Repair" facilities shows that mileage may vary. Your experience is not necessarily the same as others.
You are making quite the leap of faith about many facts based on this one perceived fact. I am not buying into the idea that you cannot be given an ETA or some other due date regarding your part.
As far as flaws in the boards themselves, I doubt it. There are a bunch out there that are not failing.
Call Apple Customer Relations-1-800-767-2775. Be firm yet polite and have them open up a case number to track your fiasco. Emphasis on the polite. My experience is that once ACR is on it communication improves tremendously.
If this is a machine that you need for business it would be wise to have a backup plan. Just as backup data must be stored off-site in order to ensure continuity should disaster strike, but you must also be prepared to either have a backup machine ready or at least rent one in the interim.

HT203254 and in case my computer is out of 4 years period?? (for just a month) do you know how much it would be cost to replace the board?

and in case my computer is out of 4 years period?? (for just a month) do you know how much it would be cost to replace the board?

If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within four years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty.
That's what it says, mine did too and was out of date. when Lion killed it.
Don't bother fixing it, it's a 4 year old machine and at it's end of life anyway, something else will just die on it, like the keyboard, the superdrive, the hard drive etc etc.
Wth all the money you'll spend fixing it, you could have a new machine.
Mac' laptops only last aobut 4 years with daily use now.

Apple store replaced logic board backlit keys no longer work

So about a week ago I had to have the logic board replaced because airport would connect only half the time. The apple store did fix the problem, but only one more thing, the backlit keyboard no longer is recongnized, its like the employees didnt plug it back up, my main question is is that I have to have the laptop for school, how long would it take the apple store to fix or if its simple could I fix myself.

I would make another genius bar appointment, they could do it while you wait in the store. I understand this is the preferred policy now at the genius bar to prevent them from taking in all sorts of machines. If they are busy they will have to make the repair after hours when the store closes. They will usually quote something like 1-3 business days but in my experience it has usually been 1-2 days.

Recently replace logic board. Cannot open software purchased from Ap Store.

The Power supply and Logic Board were replaced. Now I cannot open software purchased from Ap Store. Computer gave message this was purchased for another computer and go go Ap Stor.   I did, and nothing suggested what to do??? Suggestions?

You only know a very small part of the story.   THE ORIGINAL iMAC WAS ONLY JUST OVER A MONTH OLD! The original Appointment was screwed up by Apple Support(?). I was told to drop it off in the morning and return for the 3:15PM appointment, which I did only to find there had been no appointment made, but the case number was in the system. I was told 3-5 days only to be notified by e-mail on the third day the logic board (motherboard) was bad.   Another wait. A week later it was ready and it ran from about noon until the next day about 11 AM when it had an update that required a restart where is promptly died during the restart. The Mgr of the Apple Store was gracious and had the computer replaced with a new one rather than trying something else.   Perhaps, you think it is fun to sit in a noisy store for half an hour or more, but I sure don't. Where is Apple's QC??? China!
I owned a computer business for 15 years and never once made a customer go through this much trouble.
If my computers made it through a 72 hour burn-in and did not have a problem in the next couple of weeks it never did have a failure.   My 15 year record of building computers had less than a 1% failure rate.
By the way, for your information if a new logic board is installed (I seemed to see several being done each visit) and the App does not recognize it, just uninstall it and go to the App store and re-install it.

Old macbook RSS, will apple replace logic board and heat.

Will apple replace my logic board if I experience random shutdown? and if will replace it, it will be the board with duo core 2 on it? because I have the old macbook.

When I got mine replaced for RSS, I had to prove it. This was in early July, when it was a relatively new problem. I also convinced them to replace it rather than take it in for repair, but that's extremely unusual.
I've read posts on these message boards that since early September, some stores will just take it from your hands and start on the "new heatsink" paperwork as soon as you say "random shutdown." But that's not a guarantee that it will happen.
There as also a way to make RSS happen, but it didn't work for everybody. Search in the discussions for "yes > /dev/null". If that procedure works for you and shuts down your MacBook, then you can also do it in the store.

NVIDIA issue: Apple not agreeing to replace logic board

Hi,
I have a 15" MBP purchased in Oct 2007.
This is what happened.
Watching videos, screen starts flickering, Then hanged. So rebooted manually. Happened 3-4 times and after that system won't boot.
Display comes, sound comes and then comes to gray screen of death.
Took it to ASP, guy says software issue and asks me to repair. I go home run the diagnostic test and get the error:
4VDC/1/40000003: VideoController.
Googled and found out about the NVDIA 8600M graphics processor issue.
Went back to ASP very happy that problem occurred with just 2 months remaining for the 4 yr warranty.
Then begins my ordeal.
ASP says because of the kernel panic, they cannot run any diagnostic test to confirm if its only GPP issue. They say some other component on logic board has failed so cannot give free replacement.
Raise it with Customer care who puts me through Customer Relationship Manager, she says she'll have Apple engineers validate it.
Comes back next day, says Apple engg ran test and found out its not GPP issue. I ask for results confirming it. She says I can get those from ASP.
Next day go to ASP, ask for results, they say we could never run any test.
I am a bit of technical guy myself. I understand that any malfunctioning hardware can cause kernel panic and graphics processor is pretty important one.
So what I don't understand is, how can Apple say its not NVDIA issue, without even running any test.
Called up customer care again, (this time was connected to different relationship manager) she kept saying the same thing, we did our test and find to connection to GPP issue. I asked her to put me through some technical person. She said she would do it and am waiting for the same.
What I find very frustrating is that I have found many instances where people found the same issues as mine and they got a free replacement of the logic board. Then why in my case Apple is not willing to accept that this is the same problem.
I need help from folks over here. What really are my options? What should I do?
I am hoping the Apple technical person understands what I am saying. But what if he too refuses to accept?
I cannot afford to spend this much on a logic board. Will have to buy a new one and that too non-MAC. (My wife would kill me if I buy another MAC and based on my own experience I would be very scared as well)
I am based in India.
Please help.
-Thanks

Finally some good news. Couldn't wait to share with you all.
Received a call from AASP that they have got the approval for replacement of logic board and I should be getting my laptop back next week. Yayyyy..
This is what happened today.
Today being a holiday I went there in the afternoon. Luckily the place was empty. So caught hold of the supervisor and told him lets sit together and work on the
issue. Told him if we suspect the kernel panic to be an OS issue then lets hook up another HDD and bootup the laptop. Thankfully he too obliged.
First thing he booted up in single user mode and ran fsck. HDD was all OK. Then I noticed that the background instead of being completely black had some blue
colored stripes. He probably noticed that as well but didn't say so. When I asked him if it was supposed to be black he said yes but also said it could be an OS
issue as well. Then he got an external monitor. But since the laptop won't boot we couldn't reach the stage where we can make use of external monitor.
Next he brought external HDD. It was detected but again laptop won't boot from it.
Then he got the NVIDIA Test Program on a USB stick and tried to hook it up. Unfortunately the laptop didn't recognize the USB stick. He then got the specs of
my laptop from Apple Site and brought up the TS2377. Then he gave me some nonsense about how my model was 15"MBP 2.2/2.4 GHz (Late
2007) whereas in TS2377, it just says 15"MBP 2.2/2.4 GHz, no mention of Late 2007, therefore my laptop is not part of affected batch. I was like, dude, what
are you talking about, its clearly mentioned manufactured between May 2007 to September 2008. Then he said, this model doesn't have "something" because of
which the NVIDIA test cannot be run. When I asked what that something is, then he just said nothing and cut short that thread of conversation. Then he tried to run
the test on his own laptop and to my good fortune even that laptop didn't recognize the USB at bootup time. It would detect when system was running. At
that point he pretty much ran out of all excuses and told me he would take the laptop inside and work on it. He told me he'll give me a call once he has an
update which he did a while back and gave me the fantastic news.
Although I am thankful to this AASP person for looking into it seriously, this whole episode has left a bitter taste about Apple's service in general.
First I never expected Apple product to go bust in less than 4 years. And if there is a known manufacturing fault then Apple should make sure that the
customer doesnt have to do running around to prove the issue.
The NVIDIA test requires the system to boot up. But ideally the test should be such that they should just be able to take the logic board and verify it somehow.
Its like, if the part has gone little bad then we can replace, but if its gone completely bad then we can't.
Also, Apple should look to fix issues in logic board rather than asking users to replace it completely (in the event they are not providing replacement). For all
we know the problem could be in $10 component that requires a $1000 to replace.
Anyways, enough of my rant. I'm just relieved that matter is resolved. I am thankful to all who replied esp tjk.
Wow.
As you and I already know, that machine is indeed one of the models that may be affected by the NVIDIA issue. It's difficult to believe someone would deny that. Anyway, your persistence paid off, and you should be on the way to a normally functioning MBP. Finally. It's too bad you had to go through all that, but I'm glad that worked out for you. Hope you'll post back with the results after the MBP is repaired.

Macbook Pro not working with replacement logic board

Hello everyone! About two months ago, someone spilled tea over my macbook pro. Upon taking it to the Apple store the representative told me that it would cost me over $1,000 to repair it and that I would be better off getting a new one (I know most of you have heard that many times). I inspected the Macbook and I realized that when I tried turning it on the keyboard would not light up and, but the sleep light was on. Furthermore, I heard the hard drive and the fans spinning. The tea only spilled on the right side of the Macbook so I figured that would help me narrow down the issue. The apple representative told me that I needed to replace the logic board so I went and bought a replacement one that was the same model. Before I screwed all the pieces back in, I wanted to try it out and see if it would turn on. Unfortunately I still have the same problem. It seems that the logic board is not the problem, but I am not sure what it might be. I'm pretty sure the CD/DVD drive is damaged, but I don't see why that would prevent the Macbook from turning on. I did a little research and I notice that most people test the graphics card to see if it is working, but I don't know how to do that. I have an older Macbook Pro, the motherboard is model 820-1993-A and I believe the model of the Macbook is A1150. Please help, this macbook was a gift and I don't want to throw it out!

Well I would like to find out what the piece is that is causing me the problem so that I could replace it! I already replaced the most expensive piece and the hard drive seems to be working fine so it doesn't leave many things. I just would like to know how I would be able to check to see if the video card is damaged.
